The oxidation of benzene by v2o5 in the presence of air produces :(1)benzoic acid (2)benzaldehyde (3)maleic anhydride ? want this answer urgently ????

Oxidation of benzene with half mole oxygen and V2O5 and heat yeilds? I read in a book that it is phenol but in another article l read that it is maleic anhydride .please answer my question urgently

it is

Hello, their is a little confusion about your answer. Bcz oxidising benzene it will produce Phenol. But if you further oxidised it will produce maleic anhydride. .So it is oxidised for a long time only then maleic anhydride will produce.

Partial Oxidation of benzene ​by V2O5 in presence of air gives phenol while complete oxidation gives Maleic Anhydride.

if partially oxidation of benzene is done then maleic anhydride is produce, , , ,if complete oxidation is done then quinone is produce, , ,,

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to your problem.

The oxidation of benzene by V2O5 in the presence of air produces maleic anhydride.

Thanks and Regards
